in midtown manhattan. it's gorgeous, there's 8 inches of snow on the ground. it looks a little bit higher as i go through here. the snow is falling in long island and the new england states. connecticut has gotten 3 feet of snow and we're hearing boston got clobbered with 2 feet and still falling. there are only a handful of deaths. we heard only of one but allison, you're mentioning four. it appears people learned lessens following superstorm sandy and heeding the warnings. traffic bans were in place. police in new york mentioned there were hundreds of cars stuck on the long island expressway. people really thinking back to the blizzard of '78 when the last travel plan was in place in
6:03 am
boston. residents have been getting hit hard and they're trying to keep up with the snowfall. let's take a listen. >> this is the second time i've been out. i only got this little snowblower. i need a plow. >> reporter: over 600,000 power outages around massachusetts and rhode island. outages are not as bad in new york and new jersey, connecticut. there's about 39,000 there. the airports in new york and boston, hartford, those are all closed. we're learning nuclear is trying to get -- newark is trying to get that airport open and get people in the air to their destinations. one good thing about this, we haven't seen kids yet because it's early, but it's a nice snow day for folks. it's nice it happened on the weekend, because there would have been more problems and folks were asked to go home from
6:04 am
work early yesterday. >> so true. thank you so much. our kids can go out and make snowmen. let's see what rick reichmuth has to say about the storm. now we come to you. >> one of the only pretty places when it snows in new york is central park. the rest turns to mud and muck. incredible snowfall totals. look at that, hamilton, connecticut, 34 inches. st. james, connecticut, 27. smithtown new york on lindh, they got pummeled with a heavy band of snow. the same one that crossed long island sound. we have blizzard warnings in effect. new york city's has been canceled been rhode island, connecticut, and all of new england. we'll continue to see the snow. we got another eight hours of this snow before it's done. we could see another 5 to
6:05 am
8 inches of snow falling, especially coastal areas towards boston. but you see blues. one heavy band moved through new york overnight and you can see that dark blue band. that was snowing at 6 inches an hour last night. there were a couple of areas that got 13 inches in 2.5 hours. incredible snowfall. it falls that quickly and strands everybody. that's why hundred dollars -- hundreds of cars are stalled. the next few hours the snow continues to pull away from new york. temperatures remain below freezing. a really cold night tonight. at noon:00 -- noon o'clock? it's hanging out on cape cod and the islands until dinnertime tonight. we had a wind gust in boston at logan airport of 77 miles an hour. bedford, mass, 75. that's above hurricane force
6:06 am
wind. providence, rhode island, 63 miles an hour. buzzards bay, 74. incredible wind along with this. and we're still dealing with it. another six or eight hours to go and probably more power outages. >> 34 inches on the ground and still snowing. >> yeah i know. we'll see if it breaks records. let's get to the headlines. the manhunt for the ex cop turned suspected murderer is intensifying. in a few hours police will be back out looking for christopher dorner. dozens of police officers searched 200 cabins around big bear lake but were slowedly heavy snow. in orange county, california, s.w.a.t. teams took ten bags of evidence from his mother's home. dorner is accused of killing
6:07 am
three people in revenge for his firing from the lapd. we'll have more from a live report. a civil war in the united states was the plan of a california man who allegedly tried to set off a car bomb. the f.b.i. arrested him after he tried to detonate the explosive outside this bank of america. the bomb was part of a sting operation. he was a taliban supporter. wondering where your tax refund is? the i.r.s. is way behind on giving people back their money. $122 billion behind. this time last year they issued 27 billion-dollar and this year, only more than 4 billion-dollar. the i.r.s. blames the fiscal cliff and late changes to the tax policy. how would you like to go to college -- then have the school pay back your loan?
6:08 am
that sounds good. that's what a small liberal arts school in michigan is doing. spring harbor school is reii am reimbursing students if they do not get a job after they graduate. they'll pay the loan until the student's income goes up or the loan repaid. i see a flaw in this. it's possible students won't be as motivated to look for a job. >> that's the greatest idea i've ever heard in my life. >> i was not expecting you to say that. >> are you kidding? i'm looking at four college tuitions. >> spring harbor. >> i love that. >> leon panetta is going to go away for a little bit. secretary of -- secretary clinton has gone away a little bit but the benghazi controversy not going away at all. >> there was a remarkable exchange between senator lindsay graham and leon panetta on the
6:09 am
question of what happened after benghazi. >> we talked to him for 30 minutes one time. and you never talked to him again? either one of you. >> until afterwards. >> until after the attack was over. >> that's right. >> are you surprised the president of the united states never called you and said how's it going? >> you know, normally in these situations -- >> did he know the level of threat? >> let me finish the answer. we -- we were deploying the forces. he knew we were deploying the forces. he was kept -- >> i hate to interrupt you but i got limited time. we didn't deploy forces. my question is during that eight hour period, did the president show any curiosity about how is this going? what kind of assets do you have? did he ever make that phone call? >> look, there's no question in my mind the president of the united states was concerned about american lives.
6:10 am
>> with all due respect i don't believe that's a credible statement if he never called and asked are we helping those people. >> surprising and shocking. >> that's a tough exchange. lindsay graham not someone you want to be on the wrong end on. >> interesting tone what the president was doing during that time. they had a half hour phone call. is the president the kind of leader who says my guys have it. i don't need to get involved. i don't want to muck things up. >> let's the leadership from behind idea. >> sure. this was two months before an election. was the president preoccupied? was he focused on something else? why, when there was a terrorist attack in progress, wasn't he in the situation room on the phone, making more minute-by-minute calls? steven hayes on special report and he has his own thoughts about this. >> i still didn't expect to hear
6:11 am
from leon panetta and dempsey they didn't receive a follow-up call. you knew the u.s. facility was under attack, the embassador was missing. there had been teams deployed potentially to help in a rescue effort. this was total chaos. the u.s. facility on 9/11 under attack and the president of the united states didn't call to follow-up. >> you would think there would be an open lean and constant communication. >> look at the response, totally flaccid. they were left hanging fire and they died. even to this day, there's nobody in custody for the attack, despite there were security cameras all around. we have pictures of the people who did this and yet no one has been brought to justice. the response is baffling and
6:12 am
it's shocking the president didn't call for eight hours and i don't understand why. >> i don't either. there's been so many movies devoted to the osama bin laden capture and -- or assassination. it would be nice to know the minute-by-minute internal working. it's fascinating and intriguing. surely something had to be happening in the white house. >> flip it around. what's a the justification for not revealing that information. why shouldn't the average citizen have a timeline of what exactly happened. our embassador was murdered. i don't understand how they can keep that information from the public. >> why didn't she call him with updates as well? we'll talk more about it. send your emails, tweets. >> coming up, a hypocrisy alert. democrats say it's their right to kill americans as the president sees fit.
6:13 am
this is or super drone. aren't these the same people against the so-called enhanced interrogation? >> he's taking rollover to a new level. norman the scooter dog is showing off his skills. >> that's what my hair looks like in the morning. >> we'll see him in a second. in ameri today we're running out of a vital resource we need to compete on the global stage. what we need are people prepared for the careers of our new economy. by 2025 we could have 20 million jobs without enough college graduates to fill them. that's why at devry university, we're teaming up with companies like cisco to help make sure everyone's is ready with the know how we need for a new tomorrow.

6:17 am
adams. if i have this straight, critics on the left attacked the bush administration for killing terrorists. now this white house enabled itself to kill american citizens without due process and the left is silent. what do you make of that? >> it shows it's about politics, not about principle. during the bush administration we heard we're on a road to tyranny with terrorists killed without court trials. that's what the same justice department adopted as policy. he who laughs last laughs best. dick cheney must be laughing continuously. they endured years, attacks from the left. >> the bush administration did not attempt to make this policy -- did not attempt to enact it. this allows the u.s. government to kill american citizens, that's substantially different from the bush policy, isn't it? >> just a little bit. more in method than anything.
6:18 am
american citizens were allowed to be killed in the bush policy, they just didn't use drones. during world war ii if we knew americans were helping the germans, we wouldn't convene a court are trial to see in the 82nd airborne could attack. even a broken clock is right twice a day. >> you don't think we should pause if there's an american involved? does citizenship convey a right that ought to cause us to stop? >> the justice department memo does pause for a moment. it does require some element of review by the war conducting branch. it decides whether or not they can capture the person and if they're an imminent threat. if it meets the criteria, they act. there is a pause but we don't need to hold court hearings. the constitution doesn't apply in the same way during war time.
6:19 am
and congress authorized the use of force and therefore the president has the power to act. >> that congressional authorizations just stays. so congress doesn't need to play oversight roles going forward. >> they can play oversight roles but the question is who gets to decide whether you attack a federal court judge, military tribunal or commander on the ground. i believe in the war on terror in this new weird war they have going forward that congress really should defer to the executive branch. >> the president unveils this policy, or it was revealed by a reporter. he hasn't closed gitmo. the aclu hasn't said anything. >> the "new york times" will be appear pa electric. the men in the orange jumpsuits will parade in front of the white house again.

which you haven't seen much of during the obama administration. the washington press will have more on the road to tyranny. this is about political theater. when the republicans do it, we're on the fast road to tyranny and -- when the obama administration does it, the left keeps quiet. >> that's a lot. next on the rundown, is your grocery bill hundreds of dollars? you could pay a lot more coming up. that's thanks to obamacare. kate upton graced sports illustrated swimsuit cover last year. who it turning heads this year? we have that information. we'll share it with you next. twins. i didn't see them coming.

if the government gets its way, your trip to the store could be pricey. the fda is trying to add a rule to an obamacare mandate that could mean new regulations. joining us, regulatory council for the food marketing institute. eric leverman. welcome to "fox & friends." >> good morning. >> tell me about the new labels. am i going to mcdonald's, okay the big mac has this many calories. what kind of labeling in grocery stores. >> consumers come first in the supermarket industry and this
6:25 am
regulation will require thousands of items to be labeled in the supermarket. it's going to make it harder to serve consumers. we're going to have to label items on the basis of the whole itemmen. it will have labeled as having 4,000 calories. i don't think this information is helpful to consumers. we also have to keep incredible amounts of paperwork for each items. it's going to make it harder to offer new items and also going to make prices go up for consumers. >> that's because all this -- the cost to the grocery stores will be passed on to us in other words,. >> that's absolutely right. margins in our industry are around 1%, regulations like these, which are increasing prices to consume e. let usda predicted prices will go up 3 to 4%. it's fda overreach. congress did not direct them to
6:26 am
regulate supermarkets but they decided to do it. >> we're talking about prepared foods, unpacked foods like sadly bars, soups, bakery items. i kind of know what food is bad for me without a label. >> that's right. and studies show people know that they shouldn't eat an entire cake in one sitting. people have an idea in general of what's good for them and bad. for fda to impose a billion dollars burden on us is not necessary. we're already doing so much on a voluntary basis. more than 60% of stores provide nutrition council. >> what do you think the point is? are they trying to take care of us, like we can't make a decision? >> well, i think that's part of it. they want to get everything labeled that they can and there's really not a need to in our judgment. 95% of the items in stores are already labeled.
6:27 am
and by imposing this burden, it's just going to increase cost for consumers and make it harder to offer items consumers want. we have to come up with eight separate records but we put an item for sale and send it off to be tested. >> ettes just going to cost more at the grocery store. thank you very much. coming up, did you know over a span of two years, you will have spent $3,000 on your cell phone bill? just so you can have unlimited data. up next we're spilling the secrets on how you can live the good life without going broke. plus, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? norman the scooter dog is proving them wrong. he's rolling into the show next. sit up and watch. ♪

6:32 am
a lot of people who are stranded on the roads, massachusetts yesterday, canceling all traffic anywhere in the state after 4:00. that's a very good thing because the snow came on so quickly, many areas getting 6 inches in less than an hour. you get that and it stops everybody in their tracks. that's happened on the long island expressway with over 100 cars trapped. we have blizzard warnings for most of long island, connecticut, rhode island, even massachusetts, new hampshire and maine. the winds at times gusting to 50, 60 miles an hour. it will improve by noon as the storm begins to pull away. we've got a number of rough hours ahead. a look at the radar picture, you can see the storm's still there, beginning to exit upstate new york and new york city, now an eastern long island thing, connecticut, rhode island, you're still getting it. some of those areas maybe another two inches of snow per hour, adding on to the totals.
6:33 am
we've seen 34 inches, the highest so far. we'll see some higher than that, especially with another 5 or 6 inches accumulating. i can't remember my next map. here you go. very cold out there. today's high temperatures looking like this. we'll see temps below freezing for everybody. cold area along with the snow and nothing's going to melt. tonight, it gets really frigid. only to 14 in new york, 3 degrees in hartford and 8 degrees in boston. it's windy as well. that's going to be a problem. i wanted to tell you, we have a couple other storms we're watching. there's this system across the west bringing rain and snow to the desert southwest. that's going to turn into blizzard conditions tomorrow. another blizzard we're watching. some of those have been updated to warnings. we'll point those out in the next hour. be prepared for that tomorrow. meanwhile that same storm is going to cause severe weather
6:34 am
today and tomorrow across the plains. a threat for tornadoes in texas, oklahoma, today, tomorrow, east texans, arkansas and mississippi. we could be looking at an additional nor'easter by this coming thursday. we'll continue to watch that. >> make it stop, rick. >> the more he talks, the worse it gets. >> that's right. this story we've been following for days, a fox news alert. in a few hours the manhunt for that ex cop accused of killing three people gets back under way. yesterday dozens of police and s.w.a.t. teams scoured the california mountains for any sign of christopher dorner. look at the conditions three folks are working in. they admit he could be anywhere now. we're live in big bear lake california with the latest on this search. >> reporter: they didn't find him overnight.
6:35 am
unlike thursday night, friday night didn't see the search teams they sent previously because conditions got so difficult on the ground, they had to give up for the day. they will resume at first light. we're expecting the weather to improve vastly today. we expect clear skies and higher temperatures as well. the temperature right now is 23 degrees fahrenheit. the daytime temperature we saw yesterday. we think it's going to be a warmer day. that will allow the helicopters to get back in the high and expand the search area and increase capability. this is how the sheriff's department described the search. >> there is a possibility that he's out here. that's why we're out here searching. >> what about the possibility it's a diversion. >> that's possible too. the possibility exists that he is here somewhere in the forest, so we're going to keep looking
6:36 am
as the sheriff said, until we determine that he is -- he's not here. >> so the s.w.a.t. teams will return to the mountain today dressed in cameo as they go from house-to-house. the 200 or so cab cabins in the 8 square mile area. they're concerned it could be an ambush. he's a highly trained former navy reservist and they know the same tactics they're going to use in hunting him down. the police are not sure whether he's on the mountain. as the department was saying, you heard in the clip, that they will continue searching for him until they can confirm whether he's on the mountain or no longer on the mountain, rather, or indeed they find him. >> thank you, we'll have detectives on our show to talk about what the next move should be. a red flag up on treasury secretary nominee jack lew.
6:37 am
he had investments in an offshore hedge fund in the cayman islands. it's the type of fund president obama criticized. democrats say the investments were made years ago and are not an issue. the confirmation hearing is set for february 13th. imminent hazard to public safety is what feds called the tour bus company that had the crash in california. they ordered the company to shut down saying it does not maintain busses properly. last week the bus driver said the brakes went out as they drove down a mountain road causing a crash. inspectors checked the other buses and found serious mechanical safety problems. mike, look at the screen. >> yes. >> kate upton heating up the cover of sports illustrated swimsuit issue. that's quite a swimsuit. for the second year in a row she

7:01 am
good morning, everybody. had has en a monster blizzard. many people in the northeast and new england are digging out this morning. the storm hasn't even stopped there. don't start digging out. after a massive snowstorm overnight. >> more than half a million home, as much as 600,000 homes without power, businesses as well. the blizzard blamed for four deaths. there's 34 inches of snow in connecticut. >> we've got fox team coverage in new york city. rick reichmuth is tracking the storm outside our studio here in midtown manhattan. anna is live in central park. >> reporter: good morning, everybody. it's gorgeous here in central park. 8 inches of snow on the ground and it's a light, fluffy snow. a lot of fun for the kids, perfect for snowballs and sledding. it's still coming down in the new england states. connecticut got up to three feet.
7:02 am
massachusetts, two feet. it seems people learned a lesson following superstorm sandy. three death were in canada, only one in the united states reported in upstate new york. police in new york are saying hundreds of drivers were stranded on the long island x-ray because -- expressway because of the snow but the bans helped in massachusetts and connecticut. they're still in place. it was the first time boston had to have a travel ban since the infamous blizzard of '78. folks are trying to keep up with the snow but are having a hard time. >> this is the second time i've been out. i only got this little snowblower. i needed a plow. >> reporter: as for power outages, there's about 650,000 report. most of those are in massachusetts and rhode island. not so bad here in new york and new jersey and connecticut. as for flights, about 5,000
7:03 am
canceled, airports in new york, boston and hartford are closed. in newark, they're trying to go running by this afternoon. it's going to be a nice day for folks. central park, rick mentioned this earlier, one of the only places in new york city that the snow stays pretty for long. it will be great as people wake up and drink their coffee. take this in for a moment. >> that's really good snowball weather. >> and pristine in central park as opposed to the gray crud rick has. rick is outside our studio in midtown. >> talk about gray crud. look what happens to the roads. these are new york city roads right here and you can see all of the snow and the muck and crap all over it. this is in the city and why roads are so bad the second you get outside the city. i've been seeing pictures on twitter this morning. send your pictures if you can with what you have seen from the
7:04 am
storm. there's a few ways. go to fox news home page to the u-report tab. you can email them to us at friends@foxnews.com or to me on twitter, rick reichmuth on twitter. i've seen some out of connecticut where we've seen snowfall totals over 34 inches. with the wind on it, all of the drifts, 5 to 6 feet, have been impressive. people are snowed under and their cars are completely buried and people are still trapped on roads. still dangerous conditions exist. quickly, look at the weather maps. we have the snow falling. these are the snowfall totals we've seen. a few hires ones are coming in. look at the radar picture. you can see this still a new england storm. we're probably going to see another 5 to 6 inches by the time this is said and done, around 2:00 this afternoon.
7:05 am
but as some bands continue to have maybe 2 inches of snow an hour and the wind is still blowing, sustained at 30 miles an hour, gusting higher in some cases. we'll have some additional snow and additional drifting and additionally dangerous conditions on the roads. back to you inside. >> thank you so much. let's get to your headlines. a civil war here in the united states. that was the plan of a california man who allegedly tried to set off car bomb. the f.b.i. arrested him after he tried to detonate the explosive out this bank. little did he know the bomb was fake, part of a sting operation. the feds say he was a taliban supporter and wanted to cause chaos by making it look like it was from a antigovernment group. >> wonder where your tax refund is? the i.r.s. is way behind. more than $22 billion behind. this time last year the agency had issued nearly $27 billion in tax refunds. this year they've only issued
7:06 am
about $4 billion. the i.r.s. blames the fiscal cliff and changes to tax policy. >> this jesus portrait has hanging more than six decades but the aclu wants it down. three people have complained. the group filed a federal lawsuit and the superintendent defends it and says it has historical significance. somebody alert the common sense police. >> are there those people? >> there has to be. >> they've moved far away. >> they're on vacation. >> that's where clayton is, in new zealand, we're sitting in the snow. >> i doubt it. >> we've -- i want to know now about dr. benicar son. he made a splash at the national prayer breakfast. do you want to hear what he had to say? >> tomorrow he's coming on. >> he is? >> of course he is. >> this is what it was like at
7:07 am
the national prayer breakfast when doctor carson started talking. >> our deficit is a big problem. think about it. our national debt, 16.5 trillion dollars? you think that's not a lot of money in tell you what, count one number per second. you know how long it will take to count to 16 trillion? 507,000 years. you make $10 billion, you put in a billion. you make $10, you put in one. some people say that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy to made $10 billion as much as -- where does it say you have to hurt the guy? he just put a billion dollars in the pot. we don't need to hurt him. >> a lot of people say his speech eclipsed that of president obama who -- i don't portend to be in the mind of president obama but he didn't
7:08 am
look delighted. >> i would like to get in hit mind. loathing on his face. that's one of the more coherent defenses of flat tax. >> start counting. >> why shouldn't every citizen pay the same rate? >> why does it have to be punitive is -- >> exactly. the sure pleasure of punishing someone. >> i found out sean hannity has more power than i do. he got his on his show. here he is. >> well, you know, obviously i had all the strikes against me, single-parent home, poverty, poor self-esteem, horrible temper, these things preclude success and they would have in my case, but my mother, who had only a third grade education, refused to be a victim. she never felt sorry for herself. and that was a good thing. but the problem was she never
7:09 am
felt sorry for us either. there was never an excuse we could give that was good enough. if we gave an excuse, she came out with a poem called yourself to blame. after a while we stopped looking for excuses. she worked as a domestic, two and three jobs at a time, because she didn't want to be on welfare. she had a third grade education and she observed no one going on welfare came off of it. >> it's fascinating to here somebody's back story and how they became the pillar of society. more about him, he's a professor of neurosurgery, plastic surgery, on collgy and pediatrics, he's a pediatric neurosurgery with johns hopkins hospital and received 50 honorary doctorates because so many universities respect his work.
7:10 am
>> a pioneer in separating co joined siamese twins. >> is that right? >> this guy is a star. there's no -- you can't watch that and say -- i don't know where he lives, texas, i think. >> i'm not sure. >> we'll find out tomorrow when he's on the show. >> he's going to be drafted by somebody for some office. >> no question about it. that's a breakout moment for him. >> tomorrow i'm going to get what i want. are you getting what you want? the latest fox news polls details biggest concerns for the future of our nation. >> let's talk about government spending and whether or not the u.s. has a spending problem. 83% of the respondents say yes, it does. 14% say no. by the way, the way the question was framed it says president obama says government doesn't have a spending problem. he hasn't ever, as far as i know, said that publicly, but john boehner said when they had a private meaning that's what the president told him. we don't have a spending problem. >> we can tell he hasn't cut
7:11 am
spending. he spent episcopal raising -- spent his money praising capital. >> more likely to strengthen you states economy, 73% said cutting government spending, 15% increasing, 7%, leave it as it is. >> this question, do you feel government has become too powerful and is restricting american's freedoms. 58% say yes, the government is too powerful, 38% no, they're comfortable with the present role and 4%, not sure. >> theories one that's interesting. it says how do you see the country compared today to five years ago? nearly half say weaker and less powerful today. 48% of those say less powerful. half of that, 24%, say it's stronger today than it was five years ago. and 27% say it's about the same as before. >> so there's an irony in there. as most people believe that the
7:12 am
federal government has become more powerful, a polarity believes we've become weaker. they may be connected. >> keep your thoughts coming. find us all on twitter or friends at "fox & friends." president's pick for the next c.i.a. chief faces marge -- major heat on the hill. is john brennan really the best man for the job? >> want to live like barbie. it's going to be expensive though. hey, it's me, progressive insurance. you know, from our 4,000 television commercials. yep, there i am with flo. hoo-hoo! watch it!

7:14 am
7:15 am
tucker, we were talking last segment about whether or not the
7:16 am
government has a spending problem. americans think the government has a spending problem. the president hasn't come out and said as much but jay carney, his spokesperson, has said our problem is not spending, it's not government spending. >> 16.5 trillion dollars in debt and it's not spending. >> that's right. >> that takes a fairly vivid imagination to imagine -- >> let us know what you think. we want to tell you what happened this week. a shake. >> start to john brennan's confirmation to become c.i.a. chief. protesters interrupting proceedings before the room had to be cleared. he faced tough questions over the obama administration controversial drone program and kill list. here's what brennan had to say. >> i never believe it's better to kill a terrorist than to dai contain him. we want to detain as many as possible to elicit intelligence.
7:17 am
>> critics abrennan flip flopped on major issues before. is he the right man for the job. mike baker, thanks a lot for joining us. >> thank you. >> it seems mr. brennan has had a couple positions on a number of issues, including waterboarding. is he a political man from your knowledge of him? >> well, i mean he's very good at the political game in washington. you don't get to the positions that he's arrived at without being savvy in washington, d.c. that's just the way it works. he's a smart individual, he's a very hard working individual. he's got a lot of very good experience. but there is this concern -- and it was clear during the course of the hearing, which was one of the more interesting and stranger confirmation hearings we've had in recent past. he came across i thought as a little bit to do perhaps
7:18 am
deferential and apologetic when the senators were coming after him for a variety of reasons. none of which had to do with confirmation as a c.i.a. director. they seemed self-righteous and self serving as a group of senators on the intel committee. >> it's hard to know where he stands because of his political savviness. in 2007, he said he supported the enhanced interrogation speaks techniques because it saved lives. now he says i never liked them. i did speak up in private. i didn't want to go on the record. it wasn't my place. it's hard to know what he would do as c.i.a. director in terms of drones, which he actually has been the architect of but says he would rather detain terrorists or waterboarding, does that make you uncomfortable? >> well, it makes me
7:19 am
uncomfortable in the sense i would like to have seen him be more forceful. he should said it was an enhanced technique. it was a different time and we were charged with keeping the nation safe. it was used sparingly and the c.i.a. never claimed that these enhanced techniques were the only tools in the kit bag. they were important to have, even if you didn't use them because you need to keep the detainees, the folks there, on their back foot. make the element of surprise important. if you remove that they're going to close their mouth and stay quite -- quiet forever. with john brennan you have an individual very invested in the obama administration and they're very comfortable with him. part of that is because they think here's a guy whose not going off the rails. the flip-flopping issues, he commented by bin laden in '98,
7:20 am
talk about going after him in '98 and the senators came after him for that. he was opposed to that operation in his own words. in '98, there was not a strong con census about bin laden just as 2002 was a different time. he should have made that case more forcefully. the senators were here to justify the massive 6,000 page committee report they produced. >> mike, thanks. interesting. reading, writing, but no algebra, one state abandoning it for the eighth grade. is it a good idea? will students be unprepared. >> he moved his family to canada in search of polar bears. he didn't expect to find many because of global warming but turns out he found more than he could imagine. he shares his story next. hi. hi.

7:26 am
and you say we're in a very different situation than the media is telling us we are. >> well, it's true. there are more polar bears on earth now than 40 years ago. there was a worldwide hunting ban in the early 70s and the population exploded after that. it's not to say global warming isn't real but it's interesting how people react. some people say there are a more that be 40 years ago? we can't talk about that because it doesn't fit with the political point. some use it to insinuate global warming isn't happening. neither is honest. >> often -- i'm standing here after a blizzard and global warning, nicer or believers dr. denier or believers say you're having a big storm. polar bears have got be so much
7:27 am
attention. if it's inaccurate it creates problems with climate change. >> science isn't lean year. you have weird local effects. if you say polar bears are doomed or they're just fine, you're making a political point, not scientific. we can't do science by sound bites. >> do you think that they latch on to something like the polar bear because it has emotional appeal for people and that kind of -- their intention is to get people to believe or to try to make a change from that kind of warm and cuddly emotional appeal? >> absolutely. it's hard to get anybody excited about arctic algae and i understand the polar bear has resonance. the science of polar bears is tricky, and you may, by focusing on one species, do a disservice to your admire able cause and distract from global warming.
